Bold, Beautiful, and Balanced by Rev. Jacqui Hood Martin, PhD

 

For some, it is the end. Others just the beginning. The year 2021 is wrapping up! And as you begin to start a new chapter in your life one where you are more in control, more in charge, and in command, kudos for staying true yourself!

Our lives often go off track and we fly off the rails because we are missing in action in our own lives. Becoming balanced is about ownership, and remaining in the driver's seat, even when you need to take a backseat. It’s learning to recognize that you can delegate some things on your journey, but you can’t delegate what is assigned to you and only you. Responsibility and accountability are staples in leading and living a balanced life. As you move forward from your newfound place of assurance, peace, and calm, don’t open the door to complacency. Stand boldly at the threshold of your life and monitor who comes, goes, and stays. Be cautious about giving others permission to dictate to you what you know is contrary to everything you believe.
The journey to balanced living is about improvement, betterment, encouragement, enrichment, empowerment, attainment, alignment, and (list your own).


Today, and always, trust God, trust yourself, and trust the process. Go in faith!
And when you feel like you must stop, pause but do not quit! The journey to balanced living is one that requires intentionality on the part of the person seeking to achieve it. No day during our journey has not been without pushing you to test the boundaries of your ability. It is a growth journey. One of you come to understand that you are capable and have the capacity to get it and keep it together.


The laws and principles of balanced living are no longer elusive and out of your reach. In fact, the desire to live a balanced life is part of your spiritual, moral, financial, social, emotional, and mental DNA. You just needed to find the right combination of factors, and activate them. Take a moment or a day, and reflect once again on what you’ve been able to accomplish. The testimonials have been amazing, and in some instances, nothing short of miraculous!
It is these periods of realization that will not let you go back to what used to be. No more waiting in the wings for permission to live the life you are destined to live. It is with this knowledge your journey to balance thrives!
